1、 EIA STANDARD TP-68A Actuating Mechanism Test Procedure for Electrical Connectors EIA-364-68A (Revision of EIA-364-68) April 2001 ANSI/EIA-364-68A-2001(R2015) Approved: April 10, 2001 Reaffirmed: March 24, 2015 EIA-364-68ANOTICE EIA Engineering Standards and Publications are designed to serve the pu
2、blic interest through eliminating misunderstandings between manufacturers and purchasers, facilitating interchangeability and improvement of products, and assisting the purchaser in selecting and obtaining with minimum delay the proper product for his particular need. Existence of such Standards and
3、 Publications shall not in any respect preclude any member or nonmember of ECIA from manufacturing or selling products not conforming to such Standards and Publications, nor shall the existence of such Standards and Publications preclude their voluntary use by those other than ECIA members, whether
4、the standard is to be used either domestically or internationally. Standards and Publications are adopted by ECIA in accordance with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) patent policy. By such action, ECIA does not assume any liability to any patent owner, nor does it assume any obligati
5、on whatever to parties adopting the Standard or Publication. This standard is based upon the major technical content of International Electrotechnical Commission standard 512-5, test 8c, robustness of activating lever, 1992-08, second edition. It conforms in all essential respects to this IEC standa
6、rd. This Standard does not purport to address all safety problems associated with its use or all applicable regulatory requirements. It is the responsibility of the user of this Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
